'''DotVinum (.wine)''' is a project initiated by French gTLD specialist [[Jean Guillon]]. He is proposing for .vinum (.wine) new gTLD, which will be used by businesses and professionals engaged in the wine industry worldwide. <ref>[http://english.dotvinum.org/home Dot Vinum Project]</ref> Guillon developed the project for almost three years and had been negotiating with interested parties to become its partners. He found a potential partner, collaborated and shared his ideas and knowledge about the project including the new gTLD application process. After five months of hard work, he was ditched by his potential partner and decided to apply for the .wine gTLD without him. Guillon is looking for another partner to apply for .vinum (.wine) gTLD. He is also seeking for a lawyer to discuss if there are appropriate legal actions against his previous partner. <ref>[http://blog.guillon.com/2012/02/wine-applicant-fooled-by-partner-part-1.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JeanGuillon+%28Jean+Guillon+and+new+gTLDs%29 .WINE applicant fooled by partner – Part 1]</ref>

More information:

DotVinum was a project initiated by French gTLD specialist Jean Guillon, interested in applying for the .wine gTLD to be used by businesses and professionals engaged in the wine industry worldwide.[1] Mr. Guillon developed the project for almost three years and had been negotiating with interested parties; after finding a potential partner, and collaborating and sharing his ideas and knowledge, he was ditched by his potential partner after 5 months, who apparently wanted to apply for the .wine gTLD without him. After the public fallout, Mr. Guillon was once again looking for a partner and also informing himself as to any possible legal action available to him.[2]

It seems that neither Mr. Guillon nor his partner ended up applying for the extension. Three entities applied for .wine with ICANN: Donuts, Famous Four Media, and Afilias.[3]
